Salina Davis was married four times. The following are excerpts pertaining to Salina Davis from the Civil War Pension Application file of her fourth husband, James William Sims.
Salina DAVIS, daughter of William and Elizabeth HARP DAVIS, was born in Madison Co., AR on 30 Mar 1844. She married first, in Ozark, Christian Co., MO to Charles M. WHELCHEL (Welchel, Whetchel, Wetchel) also know as Charles "WILKIE" a cousin, about 1864-65 by Squire Williams.
Charles "Wilkie" or Welchel was at time of marriage a soldier of the Federal Forces. There are two physical descriptions which are at a variance. For Co. I 14th MO Cav was age 18 years, born Hickory Co., MO , a farmer, with black eyes, black hair, dark complexion, 6'1", enrolled 1 Apr 1865 as a pvt. On Oct 31 1865 was escorting a train to Indian Country. Records show he had former service in Co. B 8th MO SM Cav. For this service on 21 Feb 1862 he was age 15, born in Newton Co., TN, resided in Hickory Co., MO, was 5'5" tall, fair hair and blue eyes, was single, had a fair complexion. Discharged SO #14 AGO Feb 7 1863 at Lebanon, MO.
Charles Wilkie or Whelchel was an orphan who was reared by an uncle of the same name. This uncle was born, apparently, in Jefferson Co., IN, and resided in Hickory Co., MO. Discharged in Lebanon, MO.
Salina Sims adds in her affidavit regarding her marriage to Whelchel (Wilkie) "We lived together about six years in Christian Co., MO near Highlandville MO and at Hermitage, Hickory Co., MO. We lived together last at near Highlandville, MO and he left me and went to Arkansas with Jasper (Jap) Hayes and the report came back that Whelchel was shot and killed while crossing the River. (Arkansas or Red River) Hayes came bank and reported the death of Whelchel."
"He, Charles Whelchel (Wilkie) grew up in Hermitage, Hickory Co., MO and was reared by his uncle Charles Whelchel, dead, I suppose. No, I did not know said husband before the War. He had no parents, brothers or sisters, when I married him. He was not married before he married me. My maiden name was Davis. I have three brothers -- James Davis near Ponce de Leon, MO and older than I am; King Davis, Strait, Christian Co., MO; Tom Davis at Gonteer, Corteer? MO. The uncle, Charles Whelshel had a store in Hermitage, MO in war times. He had a wife Lizzie. They had two boys named Sam and Audy. I know nothing of their whereabouts. Her maiden name was Blackwell. I don't know whether said uncle was a soldier. No, I never learned my said husband remarried again after leaving me. I was not divorced from Whelchel. Seven years observed in those days divorced people? I did not know Sarah E. Whelchel of Hermitage, MO was drawing a pension as the widow of Charles M Whelchel, Co B 8th MO S. M. Cav. If so, I don't think her husband was identical with my first husband. She may be the mother ? wife of my husband's uncle Charles Welchel above mentioned.
No, I never learned that said uncle lived in Taney Co., MO. I just heard that my first husband got shot while crossing some river, by whom, I don't know. I can't prove his death. I was 18 when I married him. I was older than he was about one year. I don't know of any one who knew him at Hermitage, MO except his uncle and aunt above. He was known at Highlandville, MO by George Hayes and his wife, Wiley Hayes and my brother. One child, deceased, age 4 when Whelchel left.
Salina Sims married second John Burrel Dobbs (John B. Dobaon and Salina Wilchel married 21st of August 1873, both of Christian Co., MO by J. M. Bilyue JP. Record Book No 1 page 219) "John Burrel Dobbs had a sister Mary and a brother Tom. His mother, give name not remembered, married a second time to a Mr. ___RI About one year following this marriage, John Burrel Dobbs went to Joplin, MO to work, and the report come back that he was killed with another man at a dance. He was shot and killed, by whom, I do not know. I was not with him when he was killed. I never went to see if the report of his death was correct. Lived near Kirbyville, Taney Co., MO house about 1/2 mile from Kirbyville. Dobbs moved to Ark.
Salina Davis Welchel (Wilkie) Dobbs married third: John Thompson Davis in Pulaski Co., MO. I can't remember the date or year of our marriage. I had know him many years before our marriage and he had lived in this and Christian Counties (I think she means Stone County, but could be Pulaski), MO. He had previously married to Nancy Jane Davis, a cousin of mine, and she died at Galena, MO before he and I married, but I can't state the date. John Thompson Davis died at Eaudevie, Christian Co., MO. He was injured by a horse and died of the injuries. I can't remember the date or year of his death. I was with him when he died. He was buried near the house of George W. Hayes of Highlandville, MO; and George W. Hayes hauled the body to the grave. No headstone or record of his death. The wife of George W. Hayes was at the burial. I don't know who the doctor was. John Thompson Davis was not a soldier. He had been dead 2 or three years before I married my forth and last husband.
